Five gallon plastic carboy made from a clear, stain-resistant, non-porous PET plastic that is impermeable to oxygen. Light and virtually unbreakable. Use a ported closure (#7885), a drilled rubber stopper (#SD10) or a Carboy Bung for Better Bottles™ - Drilled (#40490) to seal. See Better Bottle™ How-To Tips for directions on handling the carboy.

I brew 5.5 gallon batches. While I do primary fermentation in a 6 gal better bottle, I use the 5 gal better bottle for secondary fermentations. Its a perfect size to rack into after you siphon the clean 5 gallons from the primary. The beer fills right up to the base of the neck leaving very little air space and preventing unwanted oxidization. (Posted on 7/1/13)
